Benefits

ERS Annual Enrollment

The ERS Annual Enrollment period is July 5th – July 30st.

ERS has made it easier to access your benefit information and make Annual Enrollment changes online. You do not need to do anything to change your benefits unless you are:

  • Making a change to your Insurance Benefits
  • Enrolling in Tex Flex Reimbursement account for the first time.

ERS has enhanced ERS OnLine to provide more security for your account information. This enhancement requires you to register for an ERS OnLine account and create a new Username and Password. The registration process is an easy, step-by-step process that takes just a few minutes. To begin go to www.ers.state.tx.us and click the “View My Benefits” button at the top of the screen. If you don’t register now, you will have to register before you can make your Annual Enrollment changes.

HR Benefits will host our ACC Annual Enrollment Fair and presentation on Monday, July 26, 2010. The major changes will be discussed at this meeting. We will also be available at each campus to assist employees during Annual Enrollment (no presentation will be given at the campuses).
